To sucessfully install:
- Right click on the link above, then choose "Save Target As"
- Pick a location where you can easily find the file (the desktop is a good choice)
- Once the file has downloaded, you'll have a file called "EL6Win2.24.1setup" or "EL6Win2.24.1setup.exe"
- Double click the EL6Win2.24.1setup file to begin
- Follow the directions in the setup program, and you'll be good to go!
- The setup program will create a directory called B&C in your "My Documents" folder that will contain the manuals as well as the stock wash programs for each machine
For EL6 programming
Includes the EL-6 Remote Configuration Software, factory programs, documentation and utilities. You will still need a Null Modem Cable and if your computer doesn't have a serial port, you'll also need a USB-Serial adapter. If you don't know what any of this means, give us a call - 850-249-2222.
For FM7 programming
- FM7 Bluetooth Assistant Software, v1.0.1.3 (Updated 8-October-2024), to easily setup Bluetooth communication between your laptop and FM7 control. Also useful for mapping com ports when programming the EL6 with a USB-Serial adaptor.
- - Download to a known location, like the desktop, and run the installer
- - Make sure you have a Bluetooth adapter or Bluetooth integrated into the computer (most laptops and new desktops have it)
- - Start it up and be patient while it scans. It will find all the washing machines and display them for you
- - Select the desired COM port (should match the port selected in the EL6 Win 2 software), select the machine from the list, then click Connect
- - DO NOT use the system bluetooth dialog to mount the washing machines
- - If you get a machine with a comport # of "-1" it means Windows didn't install the driver properly. Click the Refresh button and it will usually clear it up. If refresh doesn't work reboot and try again.
- - Watch the task bar for a message saying "A Bluetooth device is trying to connect". You will see this the first time you mount a machine. Click on it and alllow the connection. After that you can communicate with the machine.
